Telecommunications ISVs Choose Red Hat

Red Hat (NASDAQ: RHAT), the world’s leading provider of open source solutions to the enterprise, today announced that, in the past six months alone, 29 strategic telecommunications independent software vendors (ISV) have partnered with Red Hat as part of the company’s Telecommunications Partner Program.

Hundreds of telecommunications software providers already support Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and this new telecommunications ISV milestone is further evidence of Red Hat’s success in targeting application providers in industry verticals where open source adoption is happening rapidly. In collaboration with the ISV, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and network equipment provider (NEP) communities, Red Hat and its partners continue to equip the telecommunications ecosystem with open platforms and solutions that are more cost effective and flexible than proprietary alternatives, as well as meet the stringent availability, reliability and predictability requirements of the industry.

“ISVs in the telecommunications industry are choosing Red Hat because of our long heritage of delivering highly reliable and valuable solutions, and hundreds of telecommunications software providers now support Red Hat Enterprise Linux as their deployment platform of choice,” said Tim Yeaton, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Solutions, Red Hat. “Through Red Hat’s Telecommunications Partner Program, telecommunications software providers are able to formally certify their products on Red Hat software and can collaborate with us to promote and validate open platforms for telecommunications. We are thrilled to work with all of our partners to move the telecommunications industry forward.”

Telecommunications companies are under increasing pressure to deliver new and better services that are faster and more cost efficient. Reliability and stability in infrastructure is paramount. Expensive and closed proprietary systems, long the norm in the industry, are being eclipsed by open platforms that are able to quickly respond to customer needs. Red Hat offers a complete service-oriented architecture solution, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite (JEMS), to customers, enabling telecommunications companies to accelerate time-to-market with flexible, cost-effective solutions. Red Hat solutions can be deployed faster and more cost effectively than proprietary alternatives, while also providing greater levels of performance.
